All-rounder Hardik Pandya picked up an injury during India's opening match of the ICC World Cup against Australia in Chennai on Sunday.
The right-arm seamer was hit on the finger of his bowling hand while attempting a tough return catch offered by David Warner. He was attended to by the Indian physio and Pandya remained on the field.
Pandya's first spell read 2-0-21-0.
He later caught Cameron Green off Ravindra Jadeja's bowling.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma brought back Pandya only in the 49th over of the innings. Pandya finished with 1/28 from his three overs.
The star all-rounder's presence is vital to India's chances in the World Cup.
